Yes, words do have meanings.

Here’s something I dug up on the first try:

“A medical condition is a broad term that includes all diseases and disorders, but can include [injuries] and normal health situations, such as pregnancy, that might affect a person’s health, benefit from medical assistance, or have implications for medical treatments. While the term medical condition generally includes mental illnesses, in some contexts the term is used specifically to denote any illness, injury, or disease except for mental illnesses.”

Ooops! They included pregnancy.

There's no cite on that Wikipedia entry that pregnancy is a medical condition, and I can find no medical dictionary that claims pregnancy is a medically recognized disease, illness, or injury. What is the medical treatment to cure this pregnancy medical condition? Someone made it up, typically a leftist with an agenda, such as trying to get their health insurance collective to pay for their abortion "cure" due to being the unfortunate victim of catching a pregnancy medical condition, no fault of their own of course.
